Nimitz product Brittney Griner, now a freshman for Baylor, has been suspended for two games following her punch to the face of Texas Tech's Jordan Barncastle.
Griner lost her cool during a game on March and punched Barncastle after the two got tangled up. Griner was automatically suspended for one game, per NCAA rules, for committing a flagrant foul and Baylor coach Kim Mulkey suspended her for a second. Read the whole story.

Griner's former coach at Nimitz, Debbie Jackson, said she hopes basketball fans will forgive her former player and calls the punch "out of character." Read more of Jackson's thoughts.
